I would do Ten on Tuesday - but I don't have much to say about the zoo

Last week I did the Ten on Tuesday posted by Kyria from here. Normally I would do it again this week, but it's all about the zoo, and seeing as how I haven't been there in years. I'm going to do something I stole from here, because I have nothing better to do.

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
The only "book" near me that has page number is a hand manual. "independently."

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can, What can you touch?
The hand manual I just put down. Water bottle, notebook, cell phone, headphones, a few post its, desk calendar, drawers next to me, USB phone charger, space heater, garbage can, purse, file cabinet, hole punch...that covers it unless I lean forward or something

6. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
This morning on my way to work.

Oh God, lots of stuff. It's an office. In my particular area there's a cork board with schedules and some other paperwork and a postit that says "she is not close" from when I spent 14 hours at work waiting for a grant to be done. Some business cards. A post it from a friend that says "Karen - Today, on this 3rd day of Hannukah, I leave you three dum-dums. Yours in Noshing, Anne and Hannukah Armidillo (AKA, Mario)" - yes Armadillo was spelt wrong, but I love them anyway.

thanks for visiting my blog. A lot of places do charge too much for acrylic nails and designs... most of the time its just airbrush designs anyways. But Le and his wife Kelly have been great friends from the beginning and they only charge me $20 for a new set and $25 if I get designs. They don't charge me for fill ins, if one breaks or anything like that.

Yes Maxwell, you are famous...to the 23 people besides you that read my blog.

Come to NYC, we'll eat good food. I just had another delicious lunch in fact. Probably would've been better with company.

@Tiffany - that's a great price! Acrylics here are probably about $25 (done poorly) and then you have to pay per design. They do the two ring fingers for free generally, but the rest cost a lot. Also, their skills just aren't all that great. I want to find someone who loves doing nails and creative designs, and not just some Asian that does it for a paycheck and can't understand what I'm asking for. I can't even explain to you the hassle my mother goes through when she wants her designs mirroring each other as opposed to exactly the same (going the same direction) on both hands or feet. Sigh.

Who am I?

I'm just a simple 20-something girl figuring out what I'm doing with my life (namely in New York City). I complain, rant and laugh about things I come across every day. I plan to share my life with you for better or for worse.
I know, I am not who I will be. I also am not who I was. Every day I'm growing and changing as a person, no longer defined by what once kept me limited. (Boy, didn't that sound profound...)
